Over the last year, Peri Rae has been making waves with her unapologetic sound, blending raw emotion with sharp, observational lyrics. Drawing inspiration from her favourite artists—Phoebe Bridgers, Arctic Monkeys, and Fontaines D.C.—Peri fuses emotional storytelling with explosive guitar riffs, creating a sound uniquely her own.

This summer has been monumental for Peri and her band, with electrifying performances on main stages at major festivals like Great Estate and Rock Oyster. Selected by BBC Introducing, Peri also took the stage at the iconic Boardmasters, solidifying her presence in the live music scene. She is supporting Kevin Garrett on his UK tour this September.

Her debut EP, ‘Handing You My Heart‘, smashed expectations, amassing over 1 million streams in its first week on Spotify and landing coveted spots on top playlists like ‘New Music Friday’, ‘Our Generation’, and ‘Fresh Folk.’ The momentum continued to build with her highly anticipated sophomore EP, ‘i moved to the beach,’ for which she sold out two consecutive nights of 100-cap headline shows in London.

With critical acclaim pouring in from Rolling Stone, who hailed her as “an artist you have to meet,” Peri’s rise shows no signs of slowing. Her first release became a viral TikTok sensation, garnering over 10 million views and catching the attention of Alfie Templeman, who personally invited her to open for him on tour. She has also just got off of tour with Kevin Garrett, supporting him on three-dates of his world tour.

As BBC Introducing continues to spotlight her as “One To Watch,” Peri Rae is on a fast track to becoming one of indie rock’s most exciting new voices.

Adding to her rising star power, Peri has been nominated for a Youth Music Award and has been personally invited to perform one of her songs at the upcoming ceremony. With accolades continuing to roll in, the future looks incredibly bright for this young artist.
